Best Draft in NBA history?

[A-Sot]

Well, i thought we could have a good discussion about that.

Who do you think it could be, 1984, 2003...?

[rongotai]

This one is always up there

[Laxation]

I rekon 2003, but its hard to tell now. Give it 20years like 84 had and we will see

[j.23]

1996 so far.

[shadowgrin]

'84 and '96 in my opinion. I'll give the 2003 class 10 more years before I can decide on them.

[Its_asdf]

28 ATL Priest Lauderdale Central St/Greece

lol, I had a starting point guard in live 06 with that name.

[KIG1]

1996, 1984 and maybe 2003 in a few years

[Blasphemy]

We just gotta see how the people in the 03 draft will do. Maybe Darko will next year start scoring like he does now maybe even start. He could be the next Jermaine Oneal.

The 1996 draft was stacked full of superstars (Kobe, Iverson, Nash, Marbury, Allen, O'Neal) but it was also extremely deep, too. It was one of those rare drafts where you really couldn't go wrong in the first round (although a few teams did).

I know I could google this but wasn't Bruce Bowen in this draft class? I know he didn't get drafted but I thought he was in the '96 draft class.

1993 draft? I guess I was way off then.

[Blasphemy]

Who could ever forget the Kwame Brown Draft

[Pancitcooker]

Kwame Brown. lol. He should of gone to college.

[artestfighttrainer]

84 ,96 no doubt but 03 has a good chance of going #1 but time will tell.

Kwame Brown. lol. He should of gone to college.

True, then we think about Kandi Man. He actually went to college...
The only person who will be a bigger draft bust then him will be his son.

[The_Flying_Tomato]

if kwame somehow fused his sperm with olowokandi's and planted it in one of Shemp's wives...


Anyway, you got

Olajuwon Jordan, Barkley, Stockton in 84.

AI, Camby, Marbs, Allen, Nash, Kobe, etc. I'd have to say 96.

[Scotty]

yeah rongotai raises a good point-i would have said 03 but 96 was obviously a gr8 year

[twolvesguy]

I have to go with 84'
Hakeem
MJ
and most of all
Sam Bowie

[melo15boy]

1999

[Its_asdf]

'99 draft produced good players, but most of them aren't the all-star caliber type of players that the 96 draft produced.

[melo15boy]

oh i'll WUL u then

[Scotty]

u'll what him?

[debiler]

Definitely the class of '96.

BTW, what is WUL??? Oh melo15boy, you keep me young...

[Laxation]

u'll what him?

watch out man... he will WUL you!

[shadowgrin]

WUL you all shut the WUL up. If you don't, I'll open a can of WUL-ass on you fools.

[Its_asdf]
